I have an AE in my living room and bed room - both connected to different stereo systems. Is there a way that I can sent my iTunes to more than 1 AE at the same time so that I can get music (the same song) playing in both rooms?


thanks in advance

Michael,
As you may have found out, it is not possible to have iTunes stream to more than one AE at the same time. There may be a third party application that allows for this to occur from iTunes, but I've not done such a search online. I do believe that are third party hardware solutions, such as Bose, but that is expensive and is a wired solution.

I am hoping that Apple updates iTunes to allow simultaneous streaming to multiple AEs, regardless of slight latency issues.

I stand corrected, the new version of iTunes that was released today, 01/10/2005, now allows for simultaneous streaming of music to multiple AirTunes enabled speakers. I am streaming to 3 different speakers on three different floors WITHOUT LATENCY.

This is great...I now have a whole house music system!!!
